## ShaderMaterial class

A shader material allows to describe the material by external rendering engine or shader language.
[`ShaderMaterial`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.shading/shadermaterial) uses [`ShaderTechnique`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.shading/shadertechnique) to describe the concrete rendering details, 
and the most suitable one will be used according to the final rendering platform.
For example, your [`ShaderMaterial`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.shading/shadermaterial) instance can have two technique, one is defined by HLSL, and another is defined by GLSL
Under non-window platform the GLSL should be used instead of HLSL



**Inheritance:** [`ShaderMaterial`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.shading/shadermaterial) → 
[`Material`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.shading/material) → 
[`A3DObject`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed/a3dobject)
